If you’re a makeup lover, or a professional makeup artist you want to make sure that each product you apply on the face, lips and eyes is clean, safe and bacteria-free. All makeup products that we have on our counter or in our makeup cases accumulate bacteria from the oils on our fingers. These bacteria can also result from a sneeze or cough while applying makeup. Bacteria build up on your makeup can lead to skin irritations like breakouts or eye infections. Beauty So Clean removes bacteria and germs on powder-based products: eyeshadows, blushers, pressed powder, bronzers, cream-based products: compact foundation, concealers, cream blush/eyeshadows. I use it daily to clean my personal and professional makeup supplies to keep them bacteria free. All it takes is a few mists on your product and 10 seconds later it’s sanitized. Make sure not

We recommend to our clients to exfoliate their skin and lips before getting their makeup done as smoother skin leads to a better makeup finish. I love a good multi tasking product and nothing does it quite like good old fashion baking soda. Yes, baking soda! All you need is 4 things (5 if you count your face =D) to get you on the road to smoother skin. This mixture is gentle enough for daily use. Wouldn’t this be a perfect homemade gift for your bridesmaids?! You could have a mini spa party before your big day! Natural, gentle, and best of all, CHEAP! Supplies needed: – Baking Soda – Water – Bowl – Something to measure with (I will be using a tablespoon measure) *** Your pretty face Directions: 1.Measure 3 parts baking soda and pour into bowl. 2.

I’m delighted that you want to be better prepared for your upcoming Hair & Makeup Trial Session. Here are the answers to a few common questions we receive about trials and some tips to make you a savvy bride (not that you aren’t already!).
